HCA Healthcare-Los Robles Regional Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based, three-year categorical Emergency Medicine program embedded in HCA Healthcare's national GME network, training at Los Robles Regional Medical Center, a Level II Trauma Center, EDAP-rated, Comprehensive Stroke Center in Thousand Oaks, CA. The program emphasizes system-based practice as an everyday operational reality rather than an abstract competency, taught by fellowship-trained faculty delivering case-based, practice-based learning. Scholarly activity is supported through HCA's national research infrastructure (30+ million annual patient encounters, dedicated research coordinators, the HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine) rather than through an academic department's independent research identity. The program's explicit "Pathways to Flourishing" wellness framework and HCA-wide emphasis on autonomy, belonging, and efficiency of practice signal a residency culture that prioritizes resident well-being and retention alongside clinical training toward community-based EM practice.
